Congressional Quarterly reported Thursday that West Virginia Congressman Nick Rahall has endorsed Barack Obama for president.

Rahall told CQ that, "the new voters he has brought to the process this year and the new direction, in my opinion, add up to what our country needs.”

Rahall indicated he gave Obama his endorsement privately up to a week and a half ago. Rahall is also a superdelegate and joins United States Senator Jay Rockefeller as the only supers in West Virginia to endorse Obama. So far, superdelegates Marie Prezioso and Belinda Biafore have endorsed Hillary Clinton.

Rahall acknowledged that his choice of Obama might not be popular with voters in his district, which includes Cabell County.

Other superdelegates, including Senator Robert Byrd and Governor Joe Manchin, have stayed neutral.

This e-mail is being sent to encourage you,as a Super-Delegate,to vote for Hillary Rodham Clinton as the Democratic Party's Nominee, to comply with the May 13th Primary Election results in West Virginia,to challenge the Repunlican Party,s Nominee in the General Election in November 2008.

I THINK THAT NICK RAHALL SHOULD NOT SUPPORT ANY CANIDATE FOR PRESIDENT UNTIL THE PEOPLE HAVE LET HIM KNOW BY THEIR VOTES IN THE PRIMARY. HE SHOULD SUPPORT THE ONE THAT THE PEOPLE OF WV SELECT. THANKS

Posted by: eva on Apr 17, 2008 at 08:46 PM
i think obama would not be good for what this country needs,and he does'nt care about the low income people, What He says when he opens his mouth is a right out lie everytime obama says anything,We need Someone who really cares about The people,and the issues that concern each and everyone of us,and what their going to do.

Posted by: James on Mar 19, 2008 at 12:57 PM
I thought Nick had more "sense" than that!

Posted by: Ralston on Mar 10, 2008 at 01:31 PM
JESSICA, you lie. What is a jihadist school? I think you mean madrassa, and this lie was disproved by CNN. The school he attended was a multi-faith school and didn't endorse any single faith. He puts his hand over his heart all the time and leads the Senate in the Pledge often. There is a photo of him without his hand over his heart during the NATIONAL ANTHEM. When did he turn his back on the flag? Have you a photo of this? Three-fourths of those attending baseball, football, hockey, boxing matches, etc. don't put their hands over their hearts during the national anthem. I resent your attempts at deceiving the less educated folks in the tri-state who listen to rumors without doing their own research.

mr. daniel i need to correct you every poll indicates. obama beats mcain and hillary loses to mcain. to say that rahall is a republican is ludicrious..now i have officialy heard it all. R U KIDDING ME!!!!

Posted by: Jeremiah on Mar 8, 2008 at 05:36 PM
I have a great deal of respect for Hillary Clinton. She is a fighter, extremely intelligent, and driven. In fact, early in the primary process I was torn between her and Obama for whom I would support. I ultimately decided to go with Barack Obama, not because of Clinton’s negatives, but because of the real possibility of change that Barack Obama can bring to US politics. With Obama, we can move past the divisive political tactics used by the Clinton and Bush political machines. With Obama, we can start sewing together the partisan tear that has developed over the past 16 years. With Obama, we can positively change the trajectory of the United States and start building toward a better future for our children, grandchildren and beyond.

Obama is also very pro abortion, gun control, stem cell research and so on. Whats the economy matter if your morals and quality of life become more like denmark, or holland? The economy matters a lot but there are other issues. By the way what has obama done in the past that was great for this country? when has he ever been tried? last i check i dont like rolling dice on those odds.

Posted by: Doug on Mar 8, 2008 at 01:59 PM
I am going to say it again. "WSAZ" Look for Rahall, Rockefeller and O-Bom-Us to pick Castro for Vice-President. He has 30 years as a dictator and acheaved health care for Cuba. I know with the past voting record of southerm WV we can go for this ticket ! ! !

Posted by: jim on Mar 8, 2008 at 01:11 PM
Ashland, you said it all. Vote Obama.

Posted by: Calhoununderground on Mar 8, 2008 at 11:51 AM
Yep, we're being censored. My last post was never printed. I watched a video yesterday, of Obama making a very emotional and moving Martin Luther King type speech to a bunch of very impressed folks... Only trouble is, the entire thing was based on a lie, in which he was saying that a particular historical event in 1965 was responsible for his being born... Unfortunately for him he was born in 1961...

Posted by: Doug on Mar 8, 2008 at 11:15 AM
I won't let my country down, if I'm alive this is one time I'll be there to vote, if I have to crawl! Down with dictators, Go Hillary Go, This might be the last chance we have the right to VOTE as was given to us from our forefathers ! ! Just about everthing else good is gone now !!

Posted by: JESSICA on Mar 8, 2008 at 11:13 AM
I think You should watch more of the political debate! Obama was born of the muslim faith,his father was a muslim and his mother was a white athiest, he even went to a jihad school, look at the facts he will not say the pledge of allegiance or hold his hand over his heart. He has turned his back on the American flag. Why would you want a president who does not even support the country for which he is running. I would vote for Hillary any day over Obama.

Posted by: Jennifer on Mar 8, 2008 at 10:14 AM
FINALLY! Someone who is actually intelligent enough to do some research and not listen to "hear-say". Thank you Ashland! I did a lot of research on cnn.com, msnbc.com, the Christian Science Monitor, even the republican Foxnews. com to see what they all had about Obama being muslim and ALL of them (even the republican website) had articles that stated that Barack Obama IS NOT A MUSLIM. It was an e-mail smear campaign.

Posted by: Ashland on Mar 8, 2008 at 08:12 AM
I would just like to ask the people who have bought into the lies spread about Obama to please do some research of your own; visit his website and read what he stands for. He is much more concerned about the poor and working-class people than Hillary. I don't dislike Hillary, and I supported her at first too, until I started doing research and found out for myself. If Hillary is the nominee, then John McCain stands a much better chance of being president. Why do you think our economy is doing so bad? It's the money going to Iraq! Obama was against this war from the start. He is not a Muslim, never has been. It's not his fault what his parents named him--Please, people, get a grip. He is also very much pro labor/union. This election is too important for our future. I'm only saying this because I care deeply about the future of this coutnry. On Obams's site, you can volunteer to start meetings and fundraising for him in WV and KY. Please do that today.

Posted by: Inez on Mar 8, 2008 at 07:30 AM
Obama is not a good choice for president! we are in Recession and we need the Experience of the Clintons to bring us out of it. So what if Hilliary voted for the war, so did Rockefeller. He heard the same lies that Hilliary did. Now he goes against the best canidate for a new comer that don't even take time to be a senator, let alone a President. Rockefeller and Rahall should never be elected again. I hope you West Virginia voters vote against them. If you are smart you will.

To Jeanette- you are an idiot. Get your nose out of the old testament and into a book or newspaper and learn something. To the rest of you Anti-Obama'ns, I am a woman and I believe he is the best candidate for President. He is what our country needs right now to turn things around. Voting for Hillary just because she is a woman is like voting for someone because they are the handsome candidate. And not voting or supporting Hillary does NOT mean you are sexist. That is ridiculous. Obama is the best candidate to defeat McCain- unless you all want McCain and 10 more years of an Iraq war, which he has already promised. Obama = change. Give him a chance. Things can't get much worse. At least he's not an idiot like Bush or Jeanette below.

Posted by: DANIEL on Mar 7, 2008 at 08:55 PM
This is terrible of a man elected to serve the people of w.v!!!! I will never forgive myself for ever voting for RAHALL, this peice of trash actually endorsed a person who is clearly only there to help MCCAIN win the WHITE HOUSE. You see people by helping obama win the dems. nomination MCCAIN will most certainly win because there is no way enough people in AMERICA will vote for obama!! And NICK RAHALL knew that, proves it people NICK RAHALL is really a republican!! Something needs to be done about this gross misuse of public trust. These people on here talking about racisim is killing me!! If someone has any kind of problem with a person of a different race it automatically classifies them as a racist!! Maybe it's just because Obama not only looks like a crooks but he talks like one, no one has even heard of him until now!! How is he going to run this country, who is he for that matter?? Well I am not worried about him being elected I am worried about him getting MCCAIN elected!!!!!!!!!

Posted by: BruDeb WV on Mar 7, 2008 at 08:08 PM
This is just Great... I figure Nick Rahall has gone with Obamma, cause he really has no choices. I am a Dem. AND I don't have a choice in the Pres. Race, so it will have to be John Mc Cain. and I don't really care for him. I can't understand why this country cannot bring some honest people in to run for these offices. I guess every-one has skeletons that they can't have shown and told about.

Posted by: B. Wildered on Mar 7, 2008 at 05:51 PM
So Congressman Nick Rahall has endorsed Barack Obama for president,and has acknowledged that his choice of Obama might not be popular with voters in his district. Lets get real, we have no democracy in this state because our elected officals ignore what the people want and do what they want. Its more of a dictatorshp if you ask me. Democracy is government by the people, directly or THROUGH represenatives. If Rahall has acknowledged that what he is doing is not what the people that voted for him wants then he is not upholding his democratic duty. On another note;I work long hours for little pay and no medical card w/ a 1 month old baby. when my wife was 7 mo. pregnant she went to Logan ER, she didn't even see a doctor,no tests ran, a nurse gave her a bottle of laxitive w/ a $1.98 sticker on it and sent her home w/ a $700 bill. If this isn't enough they call every day wanting there money when I can't buy gas for work. How come communist Castro has given Cubans free healthcare but not USA!

Maybe some people should put their head in the King James Bible a little more! Where exactly could I find an UNBIASED political article---it should be an interesting read---like nothing I have ever read before!

Everyone should vote for who THEY want to win the campain regardless of who your state's congressman endorses. Come on people.... even congressmen have their votes.

Good one Jeannie!

Posted by: Tim A on Mar 7, 2008 at 03:24 PM
Nothing against women, but I would not vote for Hiliary for nothing. We need no more "clinton" time... Any other woman would have my support over Obama except Hiliary. I believe our only choice for continued freedom and values rest with Senator McCain. He is who I want answering the "red" phone at 3am.

Posted by: Gary on Mar 7, 2008 at 02:41 PM
Why are so many of "you people" so upset? Because the politician you had voted for or liked suddenly endorses somone you dont particularly support. Stop with the ignorance. After all, this is American politics working the way its supposed to. Some of you are really showing your classless views, or lack of, about our political system. So what someone doesnt have "experience". In the past some of our so-called experienced politicians really screwed things up. You know who they are and I bet "you folks" voted them into office. So quit your bay whining and wake up and smell the roses because someone doesnt agree with your "racist, bigoted and red-neck views. Thats another reason West Virginia is always the joke of the nation. Because of uneducated "fools" like you "folks. The truth really hurts, huh?

Posted by: David on Mar 7, 2008 at 01:03 PM
MR. Rahall suggested change in Washington, DC yesterday. I agree, we agree, the change needs to start in the congress and senate. A better word would have been retirement!

Posted by: Jeff on Mar 7, 2008 at 11:09 AM
What is wrong with our states elected officials? They are completely out of touch with the people of West Virginia. They both have lost my vote.

Posted by: concerned democrat on Mar 7, 2008 at 10:57 AM
I am a lifelong democrat and come from a historically democratic family, but if Obama wins the democratic nomination I will be casting my vote for McCain!!!

Posted by: bout time on Mar 7, 2008 at 10:50 AM
Finally someone in wva gets it right and for all u people going on about experence thats what we need more of George Bush had all kinds of experence the whole family are politicans and look where that got us what we need in new blood some one who is not ate up with corruption and who has been in washington for years seems as if everyone has forgotten Whitewater and since you all forget so easily and u always vote the same way rockefeller will be back im just wondering if wva will stop voting soon if byrd aint on the ballot

Posted by: Jack on Mar 7, 2008 at 10:48 AM
If an upstanding citizen wants to be US congressman or senator in West Virginia, now is the time to run for the position. People in West Virginia are sick of Rahall and Rockefeller. Time to vote them out. I will never vote for them again and I told them so by emailing them.

Posted by: Sam on Mar 7, 2008 at 10:38 AM
If WV did not support Bill Clinton, what makes anyone think they would support his wife?

Posted by: Sam on Mar 7, 2008 at 10:08 AM
If Hillary likes Obama - and its apparent she does - why cant her supporters support him and the party also?

Posted by: realtruth on Mar 7, 2008 at 10:03 AM
truth, obama has held office longer than hillary. How does she have more experience? Being a first lady doesn't count.

Posted by: rob on Mar 7, 2008 at 09:55 AM
Now that J Rock and Nickey Joe have supported Obhama this early they had better hope that Hillary doesn't win. She won't forget this. It could be bad news for West Virginia

Posted by: E from K on Mar 7, 2008 at 09:43 AM
Kathy, I feel the same way you do.I will NEVER again vote for either Rockefeller or Rahall they do not represent the people. I think that if everyone who feels this way would stick together, when it comes election time, we can vote Rahall and Rockerfeller OUT!!!!! It's time we have representatives that listen to the people, that's their JOB they need to do it and not just what helpes them.

Posted by: Observer on Mar 7, 2008 at 09:20 AM
I guess WSAZ is starting to pick the comments they want. I've had three since yesterday that have failed to be displayed.

Posted by: laney on Mar 7, 2008 at 09:18 AM
AMAZING!!!!! With Hillary leading the polls in this state, it is amazing how our elected representitives are endorsing Obama. These officials are not listening to the voters who put them in office. Do they think our votes are for not? Superdelegates, if you do not vote as the great people of West Virginia, you should not be elected again. Power to the people.

Posted by: Kimmy on Mar 7, 2008 at 09:08 AM
Shame on Nicky Joe and Jay both.Go John go!

way to go Jennifer! It is hard to believe the racist attitudes that still exist.

Posted by: Leslie on Mar 7, 2008 at 08:30 AM
Based on alot of comments concerning Rockefeller and Rahall's backing of Nobama, the state of WV should have a new Senator and a new Congressman, if only everyone would just get out and vote during the election when they are up for re-election. I have always been a Democrat but I have to say, those Republicans are looking really good. Go HILLARY, show those men what a real leader can do. If she gets this nomination taken away from her and given to Nobama, lets go McCain and the Republican Party.

Posted by: Joe on Mar 7, 2008 at 07:59 AM
Democratic leadership is not for the working man. They are for the poor. They create a class of poor with their hand outs and then keep the checks coming in return for votes. Republicans do not loath the poor, Republicans just do not like to create the poor.

Posted by: Jennifer on Mar 7, 2008 at 06:58 AM
To Janette: you know its people like you who want to bring fear into people's lives that isn't even there. If you ask me I think Bush is the antichrist! He started a war that no one wanted, this country is heading toward a recession, people are losing homes and even those who were once our allies hate us! You are a bad religious person. If you really were a follower of Christ you would not be so judgemental! If you want to say something political with some actual truth to it get your head out of the Bible and read some unbiased political articles! Until then stop smearing people for a religion that they don't even possess and a middle name that was passed down from a family member that had that name long before Saddam was even in the political eye! And don't forget America was founded on the basis that over judgemental religion pushing people like you was trying to push their religion on everyone! Stop criticizing others and look at yourself!

Posted by: truth on Mar 7, 2008 at 06:17 AM
It has nothing to do with being racist, it is simply wrong to put a man in the white house who has no experience at all. This is so crazy how we set back and let these men who claim to be democrats and on our side throw superdelegets down the toilet just so a certain person can't get it! We need to show up at these traitors homes and shove those superdelegets up their super a..

Posted by: Elizabeth on Mar 7, 2008 at 12:44 AM
I Will Never Vote For Rockefeller Or Rahall Again.

Posted by: To Sara on Mar 7, 2008 at 12:23 AM
WAAAHHH! You can't possibly believe that these men formed a conspiracy against Hillary simply because she is a woman. If that is how you truly feel, then you are the one who is the 'sexist' and needs to grow up. P.S. Quit being a VICTIM..it's not attractive.

Posted by: Anonymous on Mar 6, 2008 at 11:21 PM
GO HILLARY!!!!! Screw Rahall and Rockefeller. I will not be voting for them anymore. I hope the rest of West Virginia will follow.

Posted by: kim on Mar 6, 2008 at 11:02 PM
way to go rahall!!!standing up for whats right regardless of losing votes. thats why he was one of the first to speak out against the war before it was unpopular and as you recall caught hell for that too..

Be careful what you wish for! Between Obama and Hillary's plans for a socialized health care system, and Obama's taking more of our taxes to give in foreign aid...we won't have much left in our pockets!

I agree with the other comment.I have supported both Rahall and rockefeller in the past but now I will no longer support either one of them!!!I personally hope Clinton wins the nominaton.Rahall and Rockefeller should have waited to see how the people of WV voted!!!

Posted by: Donna on Mar 6, 2008 at 06:12 PM
What happened to individual votes counting? There is no need for delegates or super delegates. The majority vote of the voters should be what counts. Also, all these politicians like Byrd, Rockerfeller, Kennedy and others who have made politics there life should be limited to consecutive terms like the KY Gov. Office and the President of the US. IF the President can serve more than 2 consecutive terms, the same should apply to all government elected offices.

Posted by: Salute Him on Mar 6, 2008 at 06:11 PM
You all should be proud that your experienced legislators desire changing the status quo in Washington DC. They are assuring you that your state issues will be recognized.

Posted by: WV FEMALE VOTER on Mar 6, 2008 at 05:30 PM
I think this is a sad day for West Virginia because Obama is being supported by our leaders. I just hope that the people of West Virginia will stand up in May and vote for CLINTON.Please be careful when you vote. Be informed and educated about everyone that is running for President. Do not make a BLIND VOTE. VOTE HILLARY

Posted by: Sara on Mar 6, 2008 at 04:56 PM
Another man in West Virginia politics going against the woman. Hillary is far more experienced in foreign affairs and many other issues. Men just can't support a strong woman in politics or anything for that matter. Grow up gentlemen, join up for experience and leadership. Don't just go for the flavor of the month because it is not a female. Go Hillary, and I can't wait until you're in the White House.

Posted by: Fatboy Dave on Mar 6, 2008 at 04:52 PM
I agree with WV Voter. I too have voted for Rahall and Rockefeller every election that they have run. No more.

Posted by: To WV voter(s) on Mar 6, 2008 at 04:21 PM
When will WV learn...these guys are not there to serve you, they are there for the $$$. And for decades, you have kept them there for no other reason than their name appears in the "D" column. They don't even have to promise anything anymore, they know they are a shoe-in for the position. Why? "Because daddy was a democrat, his daddy was a democrat, and by G--, it's good enough for me!" That mentality has provided a VERY comfortable living for at least three of the big players in WV politics, but has your life as a WVian gotten any better? Are you now living 'high on the hog'? Because everybody knows--The "Democrats are for the Working Man", and the "Average American Worker", and the "poor"! PUH-LEEEEASE! But as long as there are people who will buy that line of bull, they'll keep selling it. And they'll continue to reap the benefits of people who vote tradition(or who the union tells them to) rather than qualification or vision.

Posted by: dj on Mar 6, 2008 at 04:15 PM
well another wv representative has lost votes i dont understand how these men are endorsing a man who has little experience when mrs clinton not only has more experience she has the working class and poorer peoples intrest in mind with some of her outlined plans. good bye to my votes and support

Posted by: another WV Voter on Mar 6, 2008 at 04:07 PM
I agree with WV Voter... maybe the voters of WV need to change whats been in office for far too long... I believe our Superdelegates should wait till the people of WV choose our presidental candidate and they should back their people.

Posted by: WV Voter #2 on Mar 6, 2008 at 03:53 PM
I agree whole heartedly with WV Voter.

Posted by: Kathy P. on Mar 6, 2008 at 03:34 PM
I am so angry that our state representatives are backing Senator Obama BEFORE we even get the chance to cast our vote and make our wishes as democratic voters known. I will NEVER again vote for either Rockefeller or Rahall they do not represent the people. They are in it for their own gain. A message to both of these superdelegates remember the people voted you into office to represent US!

Posted by: Cabell County Voter on Mar 6, 2008 at 03:00 PM
Rahall has lost a democratic vote from Cabell County....shame on him.

Posted by: Ky observer on Mar 6, 2008 at 02:54 PM
To WV Voter does that go to the two HRC superdelegates that have been out for awhile from WV?

Posted by: Anonymous on Mar 6, 2008 at 02:52 PM
HRC needs to give up go to any delegate calculator and you can see she can't win. The only thing that is going to happen from her remaining in will be the destruction of the party. Like it or not Obama is going to be the nominee and the party needs to rally behind him and start to tear down McCain. I commend Rahall for stepping up and helping to hopefully end this sooner. Do a search for the slate delegate calculator it is a pretty good one and play with it yourself and see that it is IMPOSSIBLE not unlikely but IMPOSSIBLE for her to overtake Obama. If Michigan and Florida have a revote she still can't do it. They could possibly let Florida seat their delegation because it was a fair contest everyone on the ballot and HRC won but in Michigan they'll have to have a caucus or primary because Obama wasn't even on the ballot. If that happens he will most likely win Michigan or it would be a minor HRC delegate gain at most. Wake up save the party HRC needs to end this.

Posted by: Janette on Mar 6, 2008 at 02:48 PM
"Oh" No I'm floored, I just can't believe this one! Could Obama really be the Antichrist ? ! ! The bible said when it happens, he would be seen around the world, when Obama came up this did happen on the world news! He's has got what it takes! His genes did come from the right place! He has had expouser to the right training! His church is friends with the right people and they believe in Abortion, which is murder of the innocent! He has got the world money people behind him! He's got the smooth Silver toung and a way of getting followers! This is exactly what Hitler did, the forerunner of the antichrist! Whether he is or not, IT'S TIME FOR US, "TO PAY ATTENTION" AND NOT TAKE ANY CHANCE! and looks like it's time to get together with some, impeachments ! ! ! If their is any real Americans remaining!

Posted by: Michelle on Mar 6, 2008 at 02:38 PM
Why are are our elected officials giving out support when we as a state have not voted yet? By most polls for WV I've seen, the state is going to vote Hillary, not Obama. Is this more of the good ole boy system? Not giving support to a woman? This may be the year Rockerfeller and Rahall do not get reelected. I am going to think twice about voting for them again this year.

I just feel like if you elect Obama that we are sending a message to the terrorist that we support them.

The superdelegates of WV need to wait until we have our primary. They should go with what the people want not vote for their personal agendas. Rahall is past his prime and needs to be voted out this year. Both he and Rockefeller have been in office too long, and no longer want to help the people who elected them.
